This first book in Veronica Roth's #1 New York Times bestselling Divergent series of books is the novel the inspired the major motion picture starring Shailene Woodley, Theo James, and Kate Winslet. This dystopian series set in a futuristic Chicago has captured the hearts of millions of teen and adult readers.
Perfect for fans of the Hunger Games and Maze Runner series, Divergent and its sequels, Insurgent and Allegiant, are the gripping story of a dystopian world transformed by courage, self-sacrifice, and love. Fans of the Divergent movie will find the book packed with just as much emotional depth and exhilarating action as the film, all told in beautiful, rich language.
One choice can transform you. Beatrice Prior's society is divided into five factions—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). Beatrice must choose between staying with her Abnegation family and transferring factions.
Her choice will shock her community and herself. But the newly christened Tris also has a secret, one she's determined to keep hidden, because in this world, what makes you different makes you dangerous.
And don't miss The Fates Divide, Veronica Roth's powerful sequel to the bestselling Carve the Mark!

2By Sa AndrewDon’t miss the last hundred pages. Because that’s where the fast paced action starts. That was why I finished the book too. I was about to stop reading because of the slow paced writing and a bit of a brief and nonrealistic writings on the Dauntless trainings. (The part where they had the knives throwing got me.) Although the book was good, I cringe at the narration on the description of Tobias by Beatrice.😂 For the positive review, I really love the where Beatrice and her mother’s resolved well, finding out she’s a divergent too. I also loved how they presented the moral struggle of Beatrice, which can be complicated and considered an inner struggle, with factions that represented different character identity. But on the side note, all these factions and their motives only fixed well with Beatrice’s long standing struggle as a Divergent in the end before she met her mother for the last time.Oh heck yeah!

5By Fish of the woodsDivergent is a great book that I would definitely recommend to anyone who likes dystopian stories or romances. It’s a really captivating story, with beautifully flawed characters and a world that could have been perfect, but wasn’t. -SPOILER WARNING- One of my favorite things about this book is definitely the characters. I am not kidding when I say I literally cheered out loud when tris chose dauntless. I mean, come ON. “I am selfish. I am brave”. One of the best parts of the book. All of the characters have flaws, and insecurities, and they aren’t perfect story-book people. And that’s what makes them so great. The villains are amazing too. While the “erudite is bad” thing was a bit overdone, other than that erudite was an amazing villain. The most important thing about them is, they have a point. As shown by Marcus, who I’ll talk about later, not all of Abnegation is as selfless as people think. The truth is, it’s impossible to have a perfect government. The best we can do is fair. Now, about Marcus. He’s honestly one of the few characters in fiction that I honest-to-goodness hate. And he’s not even a villain! He’s on the good side, but he’s a really terrible person. It’s actually really interesting. Erudite is the “villain,” but they have a good point. They’re trying to do something good. Marcus is one of the good guys, but he’s also just absolutely terrible. So where do you draw the line between good and evil? The last thing I’ll say about the book is that there’s a couple parts that might be hard for some people, so take this as a trigger warning: there’s both suicide and child abuse, so if that’s something you don’t want to read about, maybe avoid this book.
